De'Longhi Dedica Style KG521M Coffee Grinder - Silver

This is a great looking grinder which seems to be of very solid construction which grinds the beans to the consistency I require (fine). I use this in conjunction with the Dedica coffee maker and the biggest benefit is the ability to insert the coffee maker handle directly into the grinding machine and then grind directly into the handle. It does this with surprisingly little mess so long as you don't try to overfill it. It's fast and reasonably quiet. My main concern with the machine is how unclear the instructions are. I still can't work out how to change the amount of coffee it grinds (for preparation directly into the handle) - I did it at the start and now its OK but I can't work out how to change it. The instructions are terrible (mainly pictures) and the words don't seem to fit the pictures. It tells you some of the controls don't work in this mode and you can only grind in positions 1 and 6 (but doesn't really explain why). It also says you can grind for 2 cups by pressing the 'go' button twice but this doesn't seem too successful. But this machine does look beautiful on the counter when placed next to the coffee machine. It has a nice display (which really, is next to useless) and the stainless steel finish is remarkably easy to clean which is also a huge bonus. I know the looks shouldn't matter but it is a bonus when the thing has to sit on the counter 24/7.

I Ordered DeLonghi coffee grinder on 17 September 2024 and I had just got it today and looking forward to making the best coffee with it but when I set it all up like the instructions said I then plugged it in and turned it on and a few seconds later it went bang and blow all my electric off now it not turn on are work now I would like to return it and get it replaced it is the first DeLonghi I have bought and it gone wrong I would give it 5 stars if it not go bang

I had this coffee grinder only 2 years and don’t use it that much, one day it just stopped working. It is very difficult to get a repair, the delonghi service never replied and you can’t phone. I took it locally and have been told the machine is seized up. I am really not impressed with the durability or lack of service. In my view, an expensive appliance like this should last longer. The machine did grind the coffee well. Getting beans out for cleaning is messy as, inevitably they fall out everywhere.

Dopo oltre 40 anni di onorato servizio ho rinnovato il mio precedente macina caffè con questo De Longhi, decisamente più moderno, funzionale e sicuramente anche più bello esteticamente. Le caratteristiche principali da tenere in considerazione sono prima su tutte la facilità con cui si possono separare le parti principali per effettuare la pulizia dei componenti, quindi contenitore del caffè e le macine. Altra caratteristica è la presenza di numerose funzioni. La prima è quella per determinare la quantità di caffè da macinare per una o due tazzine, la seconda permette di scegliere se si vuole un caffè più leggero o più forte, credo che agisca leggermente sulla quantità di caffè macinato, la terza influisce sulla granulometria della macinatura che ha ben 18 posizioni di cui le prime 6 dedicate alla macinatura per l'espresso. Altra comodità non da poco è un pratico contenitore asportabile a chiusura ermetica nel quale si potrà macinare una quantità di caffè pari a 170 grammi ruotando un'apposita manopola che fa scegliere il numero delle tazze. Questa soluzione permette di tenere il caffè macinato in frigo per una migliore conservazione. In conclusione un ottimo macina caffè, almeno per quanto ho potuto provare in questo mese di utilizzo, ottimo compagno per la macchina da caffè De Longhi Dedica con la quale fa un bel pendant, a mio gusto, soprattutto nella versione acciaio cromato

My boyfriend has been using the well-reviewed Capresso burr grinder for a number of years for making French press coffee and espresso drinks at home. He is a “gourmet” and has a “palate.” (I like to tease him, but I enjoy his cooking!) However, at nearly a decade old, his Capresso has gotten temperamental in behavior at some grind settings. He would voice mild complaints, but wasn’t planning to buy a replacement. Here was a great opportunity for a Christmas gift! After doing product research on Amazon and reading user reviews, I chose the DeLonghi Dedica conical burr grinder. He liked it right away. With French press, he noted smoother flavor. Those who think that Starbucks over-roasts their coffee still may not like Starbucks beans(!), but should nevertheless find that this grinder removes harshness while still yielding full-bodied flavor. There is also less grounds sludge in the cup. Even the most coarse setting on the Capresso produced plenty of sludge. The sludge is an objection that many have against French press. This grinder could change their minds. The grinder has 18 grind settings, 6 each for Fine (1-6), Medium (7-12), and Coarse (13-18). It also has three “Strength” settings, which determines how heavy a grind goes into each cup. Thus a Light strength will produce fewer grams of coffee grounds, while the Medium and Full settings will grind more grams per cup. This allows fine-tuning for individual tastes, and is particularly important for proper timing of espresso shots. My boyfriend found he found he could go down to level 14 (a finer coarse setting) for French press, but that 13 produced too much sludge. My boyfriend has a lower-end semi-automatic DeLonghi espresso machine (EC 155). The Dedica has an attachment that accommodates the portafilters from DeLonghi espresso machines so that you can grind directly into the portafilter. This is a nice feature. However, the grinder automatically adjusts to grind only one cup of grounds with the attachment in place. Thus, if you are making a double shot, you will have to grind one cup, wait a second or two, and press the grind button a second time to fill the portafilter. However, the Strength setting still works with the portafilter attachment in place, so you can fine-tune how many grams of grounds per shot. Although the EC 155 claims to have a 15-bar pump, it nevertheless seems to be a weak pump. With too fine a grind, or too much pressure tamping the grounds, the machine takes too long to pull a shot. The Dedica grinder allows the fine-tuning necessary to pull a properly-timed shot, while extracting more flavor from the grounds. Although the DeLonghi EC 155 still won’t make as rich and full-bodied a coffee as something like a Gaggia or a professional-level machine, it is a notable improvement. As with the French press, there is also less sludge from the grounds when making espresso. A concern with a fancy machine like this, that has digital settings for most of its functions, is how robust the circuitry and buttons will prove over the long haul. My boyfriend had an initial reservation that the cost of a grinder like the Dedica was for all the bells and whistles, rather than for a better grinder. Indeed, being only a few weeks old, he hopes for the best in terms of the circuitry longevity. My boyfriend will be getting a hand-me-down Baby Gaggia from a good friend who has upgraded to a fairly high-end espresso machine. He suspects the Gaggia portafilter will be too large to work with the Dedica attachment. In the meantime, he has been making more espresso than before, and enjoying the DeLonghi EC 155 more than ever. Most people think about upgrading coffee machines while relegating a good grinder to a lower tier. For those wondering whether the Dedica grinder delivers a better cup of coffee at a semi-premium price, the answer is yes. Upgrading the grinder will have the benefit of appearing to upgrade one’s espresso machine at the same time. The better burr grinders heat the grounds less when grinding, and yield more even grounds size with less sludge. The Dedica delivers on both counts. My boyfriend doesn’t have enough experience with his friend’s even pricier Rancilio grinder to offer direct comparison, but he does note the Dedica is a well worthwhile upgrade over the crowded $80-$100 segment of burr grinders, and certainly worth the price premium. Perhaps I can post a follow-up in a year to see how the machine holds up. I am thinking of buying a Dedica myself because I enjoy playing with the settings and the ease of use with all those digital bells and whistles! After all, my boyfriend has been telling me those blade grinders, while better than nothing, leave much to be desired. I would merely be taking his advice...
